Teach-in abstract
This #ScholarStrikeCanada teach-in will use examples from historical and contemporary mobilizations and interventions (Black cultural production, Vietnam and Philippine-American Wars, Black Lives Matter, Black / Ethnic Studies, Canadian university anti-racism / equity efforts) to highlight genealogies of Black-Asian/Filipino solidarity actions.

We may be joined by Asian-identified students and scholars from the 六合彩开奖结果 School of Social Work.
